Hi Delwyn,<br>Sorry late reply. Just finished umpteen years of writing my husband's family history book. Now my kids wish me to do my side. It's not nearly as exciting!<br><br>Anyway - My connection is not that close, but my cousin is the youngest daughter of Isabella Rachael born 1909, who married Wilton Everard BROAD aka 'Uncle Bob', in 1929.<br><br>If you would like, I can send your email address to Linda, but she may not reply promptly. She has an older husband and his care is almost full time now.<br><br>Its funny, but I have built up the Lyden tree from all the snippets in correspondence and trees on Ancestry to a quite reasonable tree, but Linda says, this date is wrong, that order of children is wrong, but whenever I ask her to tell me what's right, she doesn't 'come good'. Sad really - we would all benefit!2016-08-22 21:20:51ZHvonHagenhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/247.4.2.1.1.2/mb.ashxRe: Lyden connectionhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/247.4.2.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx

I boarded with Winnie in 1944 at Mt Eden when I attended Mt Albert Grammar School. Claire later married an airline pilot and lived in Canada. <br>Winnie moved to Canada where she died some years ago. <br>Winnie's mother Clara Cameron was my mother Janie Fanney (Tokia) Cocker's sister.<br>Cheers,<br>John Thorby<br> 2016-07-20 03:00:52ZJohn_Thorbyhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/57.6.4/mb.ashxRe: William Charles Younghttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/55.1.1.1.2.1/mb.ashx

Hi Delwyn<br><br>Out of all the people who have entered info on this site, Duncan Phillips is the one to talk to as he is a half brother to Ofa Ellis. <br><br>I actually grew up with Aunty Esther Ellis' (now Phillips) and all of her children in my life on a regular basis; in fact they lived with us when I was a child for a time.<br><br>Some info about Ofa: She's the second eldest of Esther's children. She did have a child with a guy in either China or Japan (can't quite remember now-could be your friend even?) but as far as I know that child stayed in the Dad's country of origin. She also had another daughter called Theresa or Teresa (can't remember the spelling). She'd be in her 40s now I guess. When I last saw Aunty Esther (2003) and any of her children they were all residing in Australia; as opposed to New Zealand where we all grew up; Aunty Esther, Vincent (Phillips) and Charlene (Green) were living in Perth then and Charlene had links with Kalgoorlie too. One of Aunty Esther's other daughters (also called Esther-can't remember her surname) was living in Sydney at that time. I can also tell you Ofa hated being the only one who had a Tongan name so when I was about 14 (1974) she started calling herself 'Maria'; whether she still does I don't know. She was living in Mt Eden, Auckland, NZ at that time. Also, I can tell she was very beautiful when she was younger and had no trouble at all attracting men :)<br><br>Hope this info is of some use to you. <br><br>Take care <br>Teresa (known by family as Lisa) :) Frank Lyden's eldest Grandchild (Esther Ellis/Phillips' brother).2016-06-23 06:11:51ZTeresa_Smythhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/247.4.2.1.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Lyden connectionhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/247.4.2.1.1/mb.ashx

Hello, my name is Nalee. <br><br> I am searching for my Great great grandfathers side of the family. He is of Polynesian descent. My family seem to have never been accepted because we were told we were tainted. Not real "Hmong" ethnic people. <br><br>Location: Laos<br>G G Grandfathers Ethnicity: Polynesian<br>My ethnicity now: Hmong &amp; Polynesia<br><br>This is around late 1800's or estimated early 1900's in Laos where all the kings were fighting for the royal kingdom. I don't have much information, but it was rumored that he was of a Laotian prince, however he must have been mixed with Polynesian descent as well. <br><br>I do not have his birth name at all because it was unclear how he was adopted or if it was a trade of children/sacrifice. I believe his parents gave him up in fear of persecution to save my Great great grandfathers life. He had other siblings and was around 4-7 years old at that time. He was then adopted into a Hmong Ethnic group in Laos and married a Hmong daughter "no name" for my G G Grandmother. <br><br>MOST LIKELY MY G G GRANDPA is of Polynesian decent (Either his parents or one of them “mom or dad”) whom have immigrated from Asia or the Polynesian islands such as (Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Micronesia, Easter Island, New Zealand, etc...) to Laos.<br><br>He was a descendent of Polynesian parents who immigrated to another part of Asia, the perhaps Laos. <br><br>This is a picture of my grandfather. I hope there is resemblance for any family out there who is searching for this side of the long lost family 4/5 generations apart.<br><br>I hope someone responds or better yet, has a DNA match with me.<br><br>Thank you!<br> 2016-03-18 06:35:34Znablis07http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/29.4.2.1/mb.ashxRe: Walter George Quensell and Emma Hoefthttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/252.2.2/mb.ashx

dear michelle, do you have the right dates? Eliza Shepherd was the ancestor of the Leger family. She was married in samoa in 1856, so was born probably in the 1830s or early 1840s. There were no government registrations at that time. There was no government of samoa at that time. The only documents that might exist are church ones.<br>The 1840s was a period of internal warfare in tonga. King Taufa'ahau became King of Tonga in 1845.He ordered registrations to be made but the early registrations are in fact Wesleyan baptisms?

Hello SSALTY, I have your father's name in my Holmes &amp; Narver database showing he worked with them in the period 1957-62, Richard Austin Law. I need you to contact me directly as I have no idea your name or how to contact you. Let's talk about the specifics of the "abdominal cancer" diagnosis. The direct survivor or survivors of him have a likely compensable claim. For example if his primary cancer was stomach or gastric cancer, or esophageal, or small or large intestine, and various other organs. Did he have a spouse at the time of his death? How many living children? stepchildren? adopted children? CONTACT ME AT 858.756.1494 PHONE OR FAX, or email to FROWISS @ FROWISS.ORG , or visit my website at www. frowiss.org .<br><br>I am Albert B.

I'm in Tonga at the moment, met a relative of James Lynch, the man from Vavu'a. His son was Patrick Lynch (called Pati). His family are still from Tonga, I met his grand daughter and her family, still called Lynch.2015-02-12 08:27:43Zmysterysocietyhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/279.1/mb.ashxRe: William "Vili Paku" Briggs Info Neededhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/304.1/mb.ashx
It was Hugh Stanley Briggs who married Maama in Tonga in 1888. They had four children including William Briggs (Vili Paku). Stanley Briggs and Maama later separated and Maama married Sione Malafu and they had two daughters Finau and Anna and two sons, Fine and Siakai. William and his wife Irene had six children. I think you may be descended from Maama's second marriage.<br>2015-02-12 05:24:16Zrh_dixonhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/304.1/mb.ashxRe: William "Vili Paku" Briggs Info Neededhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/304.1.1.1/mb.ashx
Hughs other 3 children were girls. The first one died young, Violet. The second one married but had no children, Millie. The third one,Florence, married in NZ. Alfred was a child of William and Irene's. 2015-02-11 10:57:41Zrh_dixonhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/304.1.1.1/mb.ashxRe: William "Vili Paku" Briggs Info Neededhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/304.1.1/mb.ashx
Thank you so much for your response! It has been a bit of a challenge trying to compile information on this family history line. This helps incredibly! I will relay this to my father. Are you a descendant of the Briggs line? Who were the other three children of Hugh and Maama? Was Alfred one of them? 2015-02-10 19:32:23Zmaliatonga22http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/304.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Parents of WILLIAM KNOWLEShttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/44.3.1/mb.ashx
Do you know who Josiah Nickerson Knowles parents were? Was he ever married? Lots of Knowles families but I can't trace him back either forward or backward. He's sort of an island in the family lore. Any thoughts you have on this would be appreciated.<br><br>Best,<br><br>Noël Johnston2015-01-18 00:07:22Znoelonlyhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/44.3.1/mb.ashxRe: Walter George Quensell and Emma Hoefthttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/252.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1/mb.ashx
Hello Alice<br>Tukala was my mum Sela's father. I am very interested in whatever information you may have regarding my great grandfather Walter George Quensell. Regards.2015-01-12 11:47:31Zmargaret_imrie_55http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/252.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1/mb.ashxRe: children of Penisimani Latuseluhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/227.3/mb.ashx
Hon. Penisimani Latuselu Kahomovailahi was the son of the Hon. Nunufaa'ikea Tuita Kahomovailahi of the TUITA nobility line and HRH Princess Paluleleva Mulikiha'amea of the Tu'iHa'atakalaua Dynasty. When the TUITA title became more predominant in Tongan nobility, the grandchildren of Kahomovailahi Tuita, used a shortened 'KAHO' as their family name. Penisimani's 1st cousin Siaosi Ulukivaiola Tuita became the sole holder of the Tuita title and his descendant today, The Hon. Captain Ma'ulupekotofa Tuita is the current holder, who is also the husband of HRH Princess Pilolevu. The Hon. Penisimani Latuselu KAHO later became a Reverend of the Wesleyan Church of Tonga. The Hon. Penisimani Latuselu first married Kasalaine Fakaheka Vaka of Niuatoputapu. They had 2 daughters: The Hon. Kasanita Noa'isiapua Kaho and The Hon. Ngalu'afefine Ma'u Kaho. The Hon. Kasanita Noa'isiapua had a child with Aminiasi Fonovai of Niuatoputapu: Hon. Mele Polotu Fonovai. After that relationship ended, The Hon. Kasanita Noa'isiapua married Taniela Faka'anga Langi, who was the son of Mosese Puakahetau Langi, the Chief Lasike at the time. The Hon. Kasanita Noa'isiapua and Taniela had 11 children:<br>1. Hon. Ana Ha'ofanga Langi<br>2. Hon. Losa Heimoana Langi<br>3.Hon. Teuteufaiva Langi<br>4. Hon. Amelia Asi Langi<br>5. Hon. Asikuila Langi<br>6. Hon. Mele Finaukovi Langi<br>7. Hon. Mele Fifita Langi<br>8. Hon. Penisimani Latuselu Langi<br>9. Hon. Alekisanita Maomaokihelotu Langi<br>10. Hon. Ma'u Mounu Langi<br>11. Hon. Kaveinga Langi<br>These are his descendents from his first union.<br> On his travels the Hon. Penisimani Latuselu Kaho met a second partner who was Naulongo'akau Luifalefisi (a descendant of the Tu'itonga bloodine). From this union he had 2 sons and 2 daughters:<br>1. Hon. Sione Latuselu<br>2. Hon. Mele Muimui Latuselu<br>3. Hon. Tiliti Latuselu<br>4. Hon. 'Ilaise Latuselu<br>These children carried the Latuselu name as it wasn't uncommon to take upon your father's name as your last name. The descendants of the LATUSELU name originate from this line.<br> Lastly the Hon. Penisimani Latuselu married his 1st cousin The Hon. 'Ilaisa'ane Tupou'ahau, daughter of HRH Prince Fatukimotulalo Maealiuaki of the Tu'i Kanokupolu/Tu'i Ha'atakalaua dynasties. The practice of the royal family throughout history has been to marry relatives with close blood ties in order to keep the royal blood in tact. This practice has been going on for centuries and although this was a common practice, many royal family members and nobles frowned upon this marriage. As Penisimani was Tupou'ahau's cousin through her father and his mother, that made Penisimani the 'fahu' on Tupou'ahau. To simply disrespect a marriage proposal or union from your 'fahu' or 'Mehikitanga's son' was not the easiest thing to do. Such a marriage from such distinct bloodlines TU'IKANOKUPOLU and TU'IHA'ATAKALAUA and TU'IHA'ATEIHO coming from both Penisimani Latuselu and 'Ilaisa'ane Tupou'ahau caused an uproar within the Royal family and the Aristocracy. This wasn't an attempt to gain power but some members of the royal family and aristocracy felt threatened by their union. With this union, Penisimani and Tupou'ahau had one daughter: The Hon. Sosi'ani Tongovua Tae Manusa. She was perhaps the highest ranking tongan royal woman alive after the death of the last Tamaha. She first married Sioeli Kivalu, holder of the Ma'atu title. They had 3 children:<br>1. Hon. Sione Panuve Ma'atu<br>2. Hon. Ofa-ki-Vava'u Ma'atu<br>3. Hon. Ma'afu'otu'itonga Ma'atu<br>The Hon. Sosi'ani Tongovua Tae Manusa married second, Tevita Ula Afuha'amango. With this union they had 3 daughters: <br>1. Hon. Vika Kaufusi Afuha'amango Fulivai<br>2. HM Queen Ana Seini Takipo Afuha'amango Tupou<br>3. Hon. Mele Liumeitupou Muimui Kovi-'a-Tuku'aho Afuha'amango Kaho.<br> The Hon. Vika Kaufusi Afuha'amango Fulivai had 1 daughter and 2 sons:<br>1. Tupou Maluhola (daughter of Tupou II)<br>2. Tevita 'Alamoti Taumoepeau<br>3. Aisea Ika Fa'a'oa Fulivai<br> HM Queen Ana Seini Takipo Afuha'amango Tupou had 2 daughters with HM King George Tupou II: HRH Princess 'Onelua and HRH Princess 'Elisiva Fusipala Tauki'onetuku.<br> The Hon. Mele Liumeitupou Muimui Kovi-'a-Tuku'aho Afuha'amango Kaho married Soape Kaho, younger brother of the Noble Tuivakano, and minister of police of Tonga. She had no children, but 'adopted' many. Including 'Ofa Veikune, the wife of Lala Veikune, holder of the VEIKUNE title, also Tu'imala Kaho, the Nightingale of Tonga, and others.<br>2015-01-07 16:29:04ZUngapapalangihttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.tonga/227.3/mb.ashx
